Psalms 82

1 A PSALM OF ASAPH. God has stood in the congregation of God, He judges among the gods.

ψαλμὸς τῷ Ασαφ ὁ θεὸς ἔστη ἐν συναγωγῇ θεῶν ἐν μέσῳ δὲ θεοὺς διακρίνει

2 Until when do you judge perversely? And lift up the face of the wicked? (Selah)

ἕως πότε κρίνετε ἀδικίαν καὶ πρόσωπα ἁμαρτωλῶν λαμβάνετε διάψαλμα

3 Judge the weak and fatherless, Declare the afflicted and the poor righteous.

κρίνατε ὀρφανὸν καὶ πτωχόν ταπεινὸν καὶ πένητα δικαιώσατε

4 Let the weak and needy escape, Deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

ἐξέλεσθε πένητα καὶ πτωχόν ἐκ χειρὸς ἁμαρτωλοῦ ῥύσασθε

5 They did not know, nor do they understand, They habitually walk in darkness, All the foundations of earth are moved.

οὐκ ἔγνωσαν οὐδὲ συνῆκαν ἐν σκότει διαπορεύονται σαλευθήσονται πάντα τὰ θεμέλια τῆς γῆς

6 I have said, “You [are] gods, And sons of the Most High—all of you,

ἐγὼ εἶπα θεοί ἐστε καὶ υἱοὶ ὑψίστου πάντες

7 But you die as man, and you fall as one of the heads.”

ὑμεῖς δὲ ὡς ἄνθρωποι ἀποθνῄσκετε καὶ ὡς εἷς τῶν ἀρχόντων πίπτετε

8 Rise, O God, judge the earth, For You have inheritance among all the nations!

ἀνάστα ὁ θεός κρῖνον τὴν γῆν ὅτι σὺ κατακληρονομήσεις ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν
